Blatter congratulates Nigeria for 2013 successes

The FIFA president Sepp Blatter has yesterday congratulated Nigeria for the successes recorded in 2013 alone. This message was delivered by the former NFF Vice president,

Amanze Uchegbu-lam in Warri during the charity match between Enyimba and  Kano Pillars  which ended 2-0 in favour of Eyimba.  

This is rather positive change for Nigeria football unlike the message received in 2011 Congress, which was for peace to reign in our football, following the many litigations that the NFF was going through.

Then Amanze said that “this year the result of peace could be seen in the achievement recorded in the Nation Cup victory, world Cup qualification and the U-17 victory in UAE".

Meanwhile, Nigeria has dropped from 33^rd spot to 36^th in the latest world football ranking remaining 4^th in Africa.
